FREE Hot Chocolate pudding & ice cream

FREE Hot Chocolate pudding & ice cream

We have become well known for this nightly treat .....

Hot Chocolate pudding (vegan friendly) & ice cream served every evening, every night of the year @ 8pm.  Sometimes ... there is a fruit crumble instead.  A nice vibe is created thru this daily ritual which draws people together.  We invite guests to have off-line time for an hour or so where games are played, music is made, guests meet new people and share traveller/life stories. 

What one traveller said, 

"My experience at the hostel was just amazing, lovely people and lovely staff!  The hostel is really welcoming, with so many small things that made me feel home: first the chocolate pudding of course, but also the music instruments and games that we can frely use to play all together, the little plants and candles on the tables, the fire to stay warm in winter, the nice backyard with the hammocks, the little lights outside at nighttime."
